It’s annoying to get frozen and survive it, just to immediately be frozen again and killed because there is no grace period with which to escape.
It’s bad enough that multiple heroes can chain stuns, but the fact that one can do it almost indefinitely without ever using a cooldown is really annoying. And it’s so much harder to avoid being frozen now that her slow lasts longer. Even breaking LoS won’t save you. She will catch up. If your hero doesn’t have an instant escape button then there’s little hope.

Like diminishing returns if it’s the same character that is cc ing?

Yeah or a 2 second immunity from re-freezing or something.

I like that idea, reducing the slow amount and/or slow after each time you are frozen.
I dunno, it’s an idea, would feel odd though
If you give her another buff to compensate, then yes

As a Dva and Hammond player I approve. Please it’s literally the most annoying thing possible.

Not really sure she needs one. She’s pretty strong right now, but if turned out it was too much of a nerf I’d be cool with it.

Yeah she’s balanced now, the freezing thing would actually be a pretty strong nerf as it would lower her effectiveness against tanks as they already take a few freezes to die.
It would also make it a lot harder for her to counter ults like primal rage and molten core. Since before she could just keep on freezing them, but after this they would have a big window to escape or kill her.
She would definitely need a buff

If the team is coordinated and present, one freeze is usually enough even for tanks. I will admit exceptions for Primal Rage, Nano-boosted tanks, and Max shield hamsters though. That being said, Primal rage Winston almost can’t be frozen twice since he will have his power jump again after a single freeze. And I don’t think she should be able to freeze Hammond repeatedly to win a 1v1 anyway.

The interaction with hammond is ridiculous, as it slows his movement even more than normal, and nearly disables his movement abilities, unlike every other hero. It’s REALLY annoying…

You just plain won’t get away as Hammond since his mobility requires getting momentum. It’s just as unfair as Hammond getting hacked.

There’s 1.5 seconds between.
You can’t freeze a frozen target, and it takes 1.5 seconds to refreeze.

Tanks don’t really have an escape that fast. Dead regardless.

This doesn’t need to apply to just freezing.
There should be diminishing returns on chain-CC in general.
Tanks that have tons and tons of health, like a fully shielded Wrecking Ball for example, can just get stun locked from 1000-0. It’s awful.

Yeah they do. Except for Roadhog.
They either have high mobility, or cc immunity.

But there’s no grace period on the slow. Characters like Hammond or Hog that have no immediate escape button are still screwed.

How am I supposed to punish the hog players in FFA then?

Reaper and Junkrat can melt him quite fast
Ya but freezing them seems more cruel
